[. . . ] Fridge/freezer combined Installation and use BCS 313 A VE I UK GB Fridge/freezer combined Instructions for installation and use To maintain the EFFICIENCY and SAFETY of this appliance, we recommend: - use only the MANUFACTURER Service - use only ORIGINAL Spare Parts Safety - a good habit to get into. ATTENTION Read your manual carefully since it contains instructions which will ensure safe installation, use and maintenance of your appliance. Your Refrigerator is built to International safety standards (EN60) ans has been awarded the European approval mark (IMQ) for compliance with UK electrical safety requirements. It also meets the EC standards on the prevention and elimination of readio interference (EC directive 87/308 - 02. 06. 89). This appliance must not be installed outdoors - not even in an area protected by a roof. [. . . ] Do not open the freezer door in the event of a power failure or malfunction. This precaution will slow the rise in temperature within the compartment. If the door is not opened, frozen and fast-frozen foods will remain in their current state for approximately 9-14 hours. Do not place full bottles in the freezer: they could easily burst because all liquids increase in volume when they freeze. Thanks to the special ICE PARTY function, you will no longer have to deal with the problem of finding broken bottles placed to cool inside the freezer compartment (all liquids, upon freezing, expand and increase in volume). Once you have enabled this function, the appliance itself will inform you in the form of an alarm buzzer that the time has come to remove the bottle from the freezer compartment. To silence the alarm buzzer, just press the SELECT button "D". Do not forget to use the ergonomic bucket provided to store the bottle inside the freezer compartment; as well as accelerating the cooling process of the same, once it is time to serve it at the table, you can take it there easily thanks to the special handles and keep it cool at length at the table. WARNING: always keep the bucket provided for the bottle inside the freezer compartment (even when you don't have bottles to cool); only this way can the low temperature of the liquid be guaranteed in a short amount of time. 7 GB Ice trays This new concept of ice trays is an exclusive Merloni patent. The fact that they are situated on the top part of the freezer drawers ensures greater ergonomics and cleanliness and leaves more room free inside the drawers : the ice no longer comes into contact with the food placed inside the freezer compartment; furthermore, the dripping of the water during filling is avoided (a lid to cover up the hole after filling with water is also provided). 5) Fill up the tray with water via the special hole up to the level indicated (MAX WATER LEVEL), taking care not to exceed it: inserting more water than is necessary will lead to the formation of ice which could obstruct the exit of the ice cubes. If you have used an excessive amount of water, you will have to wait until the ice has melted, empty out the tray and re-fill it with water. Once you have filled the ice tray up with water through the hole indicated, turn it by 90 °. Thanks to the connected compartments, the water fills up the special shapes, after which you can cover the hole up with the special cap and place the ice tray in the inner door of the freezer compartment. Once the ice has formed, all you need to do is to knock the tray against a hard surface so that the ice cubes come away from their housing and come out of the same hole used to fill the tray with water. To make it easier for the ice cubes to come out, wet the outside of the tray. WARNING: every time you fill up the ice tray with water , make sure that the same is completely empty and that there are no traces of ice left inside it. The minimum time required for ice to form well is approximately 8 hours.

Leave the door open, so as to allow all the frost to melt completely, helping it along with containers filled with lukewarm water. The unit is provided with a system which allows the defrost water to be collected in a container to be placed beneath the unit (proceed as illustrated in fig. Clean and dry thoroughly before restarting the appliance. [. . . ]
